Help us make the building more lively

I think this is the best hostel I've stayed in terms of infrastructure, whether as a guest or a volunteer. The room is shared but the beds themselves are more private and there are two bathrooms in the room, which prevents many conflicts. Everything is tidy and organized as well. I was well treated since day 1 by all staff and the work hours were fair and respected too. Everybody is aware of our role as volunteers and don't demand much of us, and that made me even more willing to contribute with my work. The location of the hostel is good too, next to the metro station. Good experience! ☺️

It was my first time on the program and I loved the hostel. The entire staff is very friendly, the tasks are simple, communication is fast and fluid. In addition, the hostel is very close to the center, so it is possible to visit several places just by walking. The other volunteers were also very friendly, the integration and good vibes are maintained. I loved the experience and I hope to return soon :)

The hostel was a great first travel experience. It's a really social hostel with lots to keep you entertained. The work was easy and rooms were kept clean. Lovely reception, bar and kitchen staff!

They have two hostels, and I was in the hostel. This one is a new hostel with a gym, yoga room, cinema room, co-working space and shared kitchen. The food from their restaurant is pretty good. Normally they have morning, afternoon and evening shift. Each shift is four hours. They always respect the time which is nice. Our job is just washing dishes, please note that there is no bartending job. The job is easy here, but sometimes I feel confused because they don't really explain what I should do. And sometimes we have to share the room with guests. All in all, I had a good time there.

I stayed at the hostel, where the facilities were really nice as the building is new. The room was nice and although it's further from the centre the metro is really close and the area is peaceful. The volunteers got along well, however we were not made to feel welcome by the hostels staff. The working hours were respected, however there was a lot of miscommunication about what the job is and what perks we get. I did enjoy my time and exploring Athens, but it did bother me how unorganised the management seemed to be.

The hostel is modern, very clean, and well-equipped (gym, cinema…). The rooms are spacious with two private bathrooms, and some of the staff were kind. However, I didn't feel very welcomed as a volunteer. There was no proper tour or introduction, and the atmosphere felt more professional than friendly. The tasks didn't match the description (the bar was closed, so we only worked in the kitchen). We brought it up, but nothing really changed. Athens is amazing, and the group of volunteers was great.

I volunteered at the hostel for 4 weeks. The location felt safe, the metro was close, and the building, especially the volunteers' room, was lovely. The owner was open to communication, which I appreciated. However, I believe the experience could be improved with clearer and warmer guidance for new volunteers, more transparency about roles (the only task was dishwashing), and ensuring the volunteers' room is reserved exclusively for volunteers, not for guests (as they said in the begining). With small improvements, this could be a truly great place to volunteer! 💗

The the hostel is super new and very nice. The room was great, it had 2 bathrooms, the beds were new and had big windows. The location was a little far from the center but it was next to the metro and the neighborhood was very quiet. The common areas were wonderful, both the cafe and the gym and others. My shift was painting and it is something I love to do and it was very good, even though there were some miscommunications with the owner. I wish the staff were more welcoming. When I arrived my bed was not clean and no one explained anything about the hostel to me. I missed hostel vibes.

This hostel was lovely! Amazing facilities and food/drinks. The work load was very easy as I could manage it well with going out and exploring Athens. Only issue I found was the bar being closed and some slight miscommunication with allowances for volunteers. Other than this it was brilliant!

I stayed at the hostel and had a good time there. The work was just washing up and not working in the bar as it said on Worldpackers. Most of the time it was easy to manage, but when large school classes came it was too much work for one person. The cooks are all very nice and I will miss them. The hostel is very clean. Unfortunately the walls are very thin and you can always hear construction work. The schedule is fixed and I couldn't move my shifts.. The best part of the experience was the other volunteers :)
